Welcome to the AD[A]PT Consortium!

The AD[A]PT (Architectural Design And Humanities Promoting Transformation) Consortium supports arts and humanities scholarship through doctoral studentships geared towards research that investigates the barriers to creating healthier places, towards supporting healthier people and a healthier planet.

We are funded through the inaugural Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Doctoral Training Focal Awards.

Our PhD students will be hosted by one of three partner Universities (Brookes, Cardiff and Falmouth) in their respective schools of architecture and the built environment:

Schools of Architecture & the Built Environment

at Oxford Brookes University

The Welsh School of Architecture

at Cardiff University

School of Architecture, Design and Interiors

at Falmouth University

Our work is guided by our 13 strong Industry-leading Steering Group, to learn more about them and how they support our work, see here…
